The mix of homes sold can move the median. The median is the midpoint of recorded sale prices. In a market with relatively few transactions, a drop in sales of lower-priced homes or a larger share of higher-priced sales can push the median up. The available figures do not show how much of Moultrie’s increase came from changes in the mix of homes sold. Redfin housing market data

Higher mortgage rates squeezed buying power. Freddie Mac reported that the national average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 7.11% on Nov. 12, compared with 6.24% a year earlier. For a $250,000 home with 20% down, that difference adds about $115 a month in principal and interest on a $200,000 loan, before taxes and insurance. Higher rates can also make owners with lower-rate mortgages reluctant to sell and take out a new loan. That can slow sales on both sides of the market and limit the number of homes coming up for sale. Freddie Mac mortgage rate report · FHFA research on mortgage rate lock-in
